In the vast tapestry of life, grief is a thread that weaves its way through all our stories. It’s a universal experience that binds us together in the raw, authentic vulnerability of our shared humanity. Each of us has faced the cold embrace of loss, be it the departure of a loved one, the shattering of dreams, or the unraveling of what once was.
In the echo of your grief, I want you to know that you’re not alone. There’s a profound understanding that emerges from the depths of sorrow—a silent communion among those who have weathered the storm of loss. And within this shared understanding lies the potential for healing, growth, and rediscovery.
I’ve had the privilege of creating shows that delve into the delicate intricacies of grief—how to navigate its tumultuous waters, how to find hope in its darkest corners, and ultimately, how to emerge on the other side, not untouched, but transformed. It’s a journey that demands courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to honoring the memory of what once was.
I extend an invitation to you, fellow travelers on this unpredictable road. Take a moment to listen, to reflect, and to find solace in the stories of others who have walked a similar path. In the symphony of shared experiences, you might discover melodies of resilience, echoes of newfound strength, and the gentle whisper of hope that refuses to be extinguished.
Grief has a way of sculpting us into versions of ourselves we never thought possible. It’s a painful metamorphosis, but within that pain lies the potential for profound personal growth. Don’t let grief define you, but allow it to be a chapter in the narrative of your resilience.
Let these shows be a source of guidance, a companion on your journey through grief, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a flicker of light waiting to be discovered. Embrace your grief, learn from it, and let it be a testament to the depth of your capacity for love, compassion, and the strength to continue living.

Over the next few months I will be launching three books that I have co-authored and authored.
The first one is a glimpse into my life and how I got to where I am today; My Self Discovery to Soul Living, it covers my early childhood and the obstacle of being a spiritual child who saw things she did not understand and had a knowingness that was beyond her compression.
I was a sickly child, I was given Ashama and Eczema at the age of two when the Asian flu went through England. This left me going in and out of hospital and spending days and weeks in bed when I got a cold and bronchitis. With 4 white walls looking at me, I had no option but to dimensional travel for my sanity.
This led to opening my soul and spirit to seeing things others did not see ,and showed me that my connection with the divine was where my truth and purpose laid and my heart was full with it. This presented an issue in the world as being a spiritual being was not fashionable and not always a safe place to be in this human world. Living as a human was very difficult for me as trying to fit in was like a round shape trying to fit in a triangle.
I speak to my journey of my Self Discovery into whom I am today living in my cosmic truth and purpose. E-BOOK LAUNCHED NOW
I am also proud to be a part of this book on Dare To Live Fearlessly, speaking to our fears and how to overcome them. It launches January 2024 and is available to pre-order December 29th. Alexandria the conductor of this book is also an author in Our Forgotten Children Book. Hear Alexandria’s story HERE
Our Forgotten Children’s book speaks Our Children who Represent Our Future. They Are The Promise Of Our Nations, Carrying Forward Our Traditions, Our Values, And Our Aspirations. However, It’s Disheartening To See That We Are Consistently Failing To Provide Them With The Resources, Opportunities, And Support They Need To Thrive. Our authors speak to the issues and what we can apply as solutions to seed and help grow our wonderful children.
A summit with the authors is coming mid January, the book launches in February and in March there will be “Ask the Author’s” platform, where readers can ask each authors on the subject of their chapter and cause.
To see the full line up of authors and summit event and launch on February 20th go here.
Being a part of these books has been an honour, and finally sharing my own story was a journey in its self. Even though have been podcasting for nearly 12 years with my own network, and blogging for over 20 years; writing a book revealing your past and how I came to be where I am now, was an experience in its self, one where I learned a great deal about my self.
Contributing to the Dare to be Fearless book was a reflection of my own fear, and writing in Our Forgotten Children’s book, amongst such other authors was yet a challenge but also a realization of a dream to produce this book finally after 5 years of dreaming of it.
Though we have a dream and it does come into view straight away, if we allow, it will come when the people and the time is right, and then, many doors open tapping into the good vibrations of a collectiveness and inspirations.
This is the time and with more collaborative books to come, I have tapped into the positive energy and I allow my waters to run free and allow what ever is to be, to be. .
If they build it they won’t come. Why would anyone build a high-speed railway for £50 Billion when the unions won’t drive it and prospective passengers all work from home now? Everything has changed. HS2 was an idea for the 20th Century, not today it seems.
Editorial: What are you afraid of?
Ill health? Climate Change? War with China? War with Russia? Or both simultaneously. The Far Right rising again in Europe and America? How about A.I.? Mass illegal migration? Energy Costs and Shortages?
Pretty much all of the above are imminent. Reading the Sunday papers or listening to the news (not Fox or GB News) you can only come away with a pretty bleak view of the future and precious few solutions that don’t curb your freedoms to enjoy life. I have just read John Gray’s book The New Leviathans that builds on the philosopher Hobbes and predicts the end of liberalism and the rise of kleptocracies everywhere, including the USA, which will revert to a kind of neo-feudal state with elites and extreme poverty and violence. We already live in a world where Musk on X claims he is promoting ‘freedom’ but filling the world only with ‘hate’. Orwell would have understood that so well. *Meanwhile in this months issue James Campion says Trade Unions are back in vogue in the USA.
Whether young or old, it doesn’t matter which, both are equally affected by the future but may have different fears. The young must fear the coming of A.I. to take their jobs (especially the boring jobs, the starter jobs). Young professionals will certainly fear A.I., that includes lawyers, doctors, economists, journalists, academics and as the Hollywood strikes revealed, actors, writers, and musicians. (This editorial is free of any A.I. influence). Then add their concerns about global warming. We learn this week that A.I. computer hubs consume billions of gallons of fresh water that is needed for farmland. Everyone may want to protest that, some will want to vote for political parties that promise to eliminate cars entirely – in Wales (UK) all cars have to travel at 20 mph already and they are no doubt ordering many red flags to hold up in front of them for the coming mass unemployment due there.
Sadly protests in the UK and Europe won’t make a damn bit of difference as most of the pollution (from coal-fired power stations) that is driving up the global temperature are located in China and India. Both are still building coal-fired power stations and protesting in China is illegal and ill advised in Modi’s India. As an aside Bloomberg (9.27.23) states that 62% of Apple factories based in Asian countries are at risk of flooding due to global warming and most are fuelled by fossil fuels (Natural Gas or Coal).
So whereas we can establish being young isn’t much fun anymore, the old have multi-level problems, ageing, health, obesity, the consequences of decades ill advised diets, smoking, alcohol. Combine this with a declining workforce in European healthcare systems it’s not trending for a good outcome. Then factor in a total lack of places or money to house millions of elderly unable to care for themselves (especially in the UK) we are heading for a social care disaster. (Unless you have money, a lot of money). Global warming will also produce shortages of food, ever-higher prices and as populations’ age shortages of labour to work in food production. (See Japan). As world temperatures rise the food we are used to eating will fail to grow. Some crops can adapt but feed nine billion people as it is predicted to be by 2050? I have my doubts. So food security and your right to access it will be paramount. (Just like all the dystopian novels tell you). Malthus may yet be proved right.
You might argue that A.I. will solve all these problems. We might get lucky and not re-elect Trump in the USA, but pity Ukraine if they do. The sc-fi writer Paulo Bacigalupi wrote about food companies solving the world food problem by coming up with ‘nutrition free food’ and millions died of starvation with full stomachs. (The Wind Up Girl). We already have a UPF (ultra-processed foods) that have caused mass obesity. And instead of teaching people to eat healthily we give them a diabetes drug Ozempic to gorge on instead, courtesy of Novo Nordisk (now the most valuable company in Denmark.
Don’t think things looked any better in the sixties. There was the permanent threat of nuclear war (from Russia as ever). It affected the psyche of a whole generation who learned to live for the moment rather than invest in the future. After all, many people back then didn’t think there would be a future. It’s ironic that those same people are still alive and facing the same threat from Russia again. It meant that many people, me included, didn’t make plans or get a pension until far too late. It was a case of damn, I’m still alive, I’d better get a proper job and get on the housing ladder before it’s too late.
I asked my nieces and nephews what they fear and although they parrot climate change, all their worries are mostly about school, exams, their immediate future, they don’t seem to look at the wider view. Maybe that’s healthy. My youth was definitely blighted by fear of nuclear war (my school was next to the atomic bombers airbase). They are definitely worried about personal safety, knife crime, being on the wrong side of wokeness and are extremely devoted to political correctness. I never once worried about my personal safety when a kid, except for what might fall out of the sky one day.
So many people now say ‘I never watch the news or read a newspaper.’ They get all their ‘news’ from on-line or Tik-Tok which is totally free of fact checking or balance. So everyone has opinions on everything but no actual knowledge. Worse, they seem happy with that because algorithms deliver them more water from a poisoned well to reinforce those new set of views by the minute.
My friend says ‘What does it matter, we all die in the end.’ That’s factually true, but wouldn’t you prefer to choose when and where and how? Yes, I believe mankind is driving climate change, no I don’t believe that we will ‘solve’ the problem in time to save the bulk of humanity or the wild animals.
Solutions of the hairshirt variety will not be politically acceptable and people will just elect people like Trump who tell them it’s a hoax, even as Category Six hurricanes sweep their houses into oblivion. That’s my fear. Oct 3rd” PS: Saw Dumb Money which is all about the ‘little people’ investors against the evil hedge funds who stood to lose billions shorting Gamestop. Starring Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Seth Rogen and a host of others its a real David vs Goliath story. Not quite in the league of ‘The Big Short’ but very much a social media portrait of the USA today. Go see.

So many myths about mushrooms in the culture—let’s try to get to the truth, and #factsaboutfungi are almost always more fascinating than fiction. Spores found on the teeth of a woman who died 18,000 years ago indicate fungi was part of our hunter-gatherer ancestors’ diet. Pre-Neolithic 7,000-year-old rock paintings found in the present-day Sahara Desert depict humans using psychedelic mushrooms. Two types of mushrooms were found on the 5,200-year-old corpse of “Otzi the Iceman,” one of the oldest human mummies ever found, strung on cords around his neck and carried in a pouch. Archaeologists surmise he was using them as anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and tinder, and that along with his weapons, mushrooms were a key tool in his survival kit.
At Frequency, we emphasize responsible cultivation and handling of mushroom medicine. With years of experience in the field, our team has the knowledge and expertise to ensure that every step of the process is done with the utmost care and precision. Our lead cultivator and founder started cultivating in 2016 and has extensive knowledge of the unique requirements of mushroom species, developing innovative cultivation techniques that allow us to produce high-quality, consistent yields. He oversees every aspect of our mushroom cultivation process, from selecting the ideal genetics, substrates and techniques to ensure optimal growth conditions as well as monitoring the harvest.
